drove 4hrs for this DB F1 - was it worth it?
« on: February 05, 2011, 05:09 PM »
Of course it was!!!  :smitten:


This little lovely was on ebay - as a 'buy it now' last weekend - did anyone see it  ???

sugino crank, kashi, suntour xc - rear diamondback tyre and compe III front, araya 1.5 'was this standard spec stuff'...

Tech 3's, Dia compe calipers faun grips, D.I.D chain.... :smitten:








Any info - original adverts etc would be great, plan is just to clean this up a bit, what do you reckon?

:daumenhoch:
